I don’t know about you, but I have always dreamed of turning into a talented hostess capable of effortlessly whipping up an incredible spread for any guest who walks through my front door.
It actually was one of my resolutions this year to put more effort into entertaining and learning how to do it well, but it’s certainly easier said than done.
If you have ever felt the same way, I have just the tool to help you on your journey to becoming the hostess you envisioned you could be, and it’s called “Entertaining Is My Love Language” by Dawna Pitts.
I recently got the opportunity to review Dawna’s gorgeous guide to entertaining, and she does not disappoint.
As Dawna so eloquently writes on the back of her book, “Treating others at your home is a special act and one of the most beautiful things you can do for others.”
“Often, it’s hard to know where to begin, but I’m here to help you! I am not a chef or a celebrity. I’m just passionate about sharing my simplified, easy recipes and best entertaining tips with you.”
“From casual to impressive, dining al fresco to wine-paired dinner, travel stores with quick bites and Asian-inspired delicious get-togethers. If I can do it, you can do it too!”
Dawna really is here to help you every step of the way, and her book is full of incredible and innovative recipes as well as vibrant photos to accompany her creativity.

I love that Dawna breaks everything down in an easy-to-follow way, from the actual recipes themselves to all the steps you need to follow for planning gatherings at your home. She also offers up her tips for being the best hostess you can be, including etiquette you probably never thought about.
She gives you a checklist of important things to have on hand if your guests are going to stay overnight, she teaches you how to throw together what she calls “SOS Dinners” for when you need to pull something off in a pinch, and she illustrates how to set your table in an elegant way. Dawna even provides you with a list of long-lasting flowers to include in arrangements and a guide to pairing different wines with your dishes.
Dawna was born in Seoul, South Korea, but she later moved to Australia, and then the United States, and her unique recipes truly reflect her global experiences. I especially adored Dawna’s recipes for Sushi Tacos, Salt Plank Lobster Tails, and Beef Tenderloin.
Entertaining doesn’t have to be overwhelming or difficult, and Dawna’s book truly embodies this.
